I think teams probably viewed Osweiler as a better prospect than McCarron. He was a 2nd round pick with size (6'7" 240 lbs) and an arm...and better combine numbers.

Folks on here praise McCarron for his performance against Denver...well guess who was the QB for Denver that day? Osweiler (299 yards, 1 TD, 100.3 rating) outplayed McCarron that day.

So higher draft pick, better size, better arm, bigger (and better) sample size to go on (275 pass attempts and 7 starts to go on compared to 160 attempts and 4 starts for Mac). On top of that, there was more hype because Osweiler played for the champion Broncos and learned behind Peyton. 

I'm sure teams thought more highly of Osweiler, and look how he turned out.
